21:007:029 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright;
           but they have sought out many inventions.

21:008:001 Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of
           a thing? a man’s wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the
           boldness of his face shall be changed.

21:008:002 I counsel thee to keep the king’s commandment, and that in
           regard of the oath of God.

21:008:003 Be not hasty to go out of his sight:  stand not in an evil
           thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.

21:008:004 Where the word of a king is, there is power:  and who may say
           unto him, What doest thou?

21:008:005 Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing:  and a
           wise man’s heart discerneth both time and judgment.

21:008:006 Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore
           the misery of man is great upon him.

21:008:007 For he knoweth not that which shall be:  for who can tell him
           when it shall be?

21:008:008 There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the
           spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death:  and there
           is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver
           those that are given to it.

21:008:009 All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work
           that is done under the sun:  there is a time wherein one man
           ruleth over another to his own hurt.

21:008:010 And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the
           place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where
           they had so done:  this is also vanity.

21:008:011 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed
           speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set
           in them to do evil.

21:008:012 Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be
           prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them
           that fear God, which fear before him: 

21:008:013 But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he
           prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth
           not before God.

21:008:014 There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be
           just men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the
           wicked; again, there be wicked men, to whom it happeneth
           according to the work of the righteous:  I said that this also
           is vanity.

21:008:015 Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing
           under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry:  for
           that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life,
           which God giveth him under the sun.
